Fig 1 Blood loss, Hb, CO, MAP, and heart rate of pigs (n=7, in each group) during administration of HES or with RL and HES (P3) after a Grade III crush and avulsion liver trauma. Dotted lines, fluid resuscitation phases: P1, 0.7 ml kg−1 min−1; P2, 1.65 ml kg−1 min−1; and P3, according to blood loss. Data are normalized and presented as mean (sem). *Different from baseline (P<0.05). †Difference in total blood loss between the groups (P<0.01).
